Best FPL Strikers in Gameweek 35
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds, £5.7m)
Leeds are in great form at the moment in the Premier League, having been undefeated in their last 5 league appearances. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been one of their best players this season, and he's even scored 11 EPLl goals for them so far. With Burnley at home next, DCL is undoubtedly one of the best budget strikers you can pick in FPL this week.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £14.5m)
Erling Haaland was struggling for Manchester City during the earliest phases of the season, but now he looks back to his time, at a time when City needed him the most as the Premier League title seems like it's going to the wire. City will face a struggling Everton side next, where Haaland has huge chances to score his 25th Premier League goal of the season. He's undoubtedly an attractive pick for Gameweek 35.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, £8.8m)
Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the worst teams in the Premier League this season. Even after the appointment of manager Roberto De Zerbi, they still haven't been quite convincing yet. Thus, Ollie Watkins is definitely one of the best Fantasy Premier League strikers for this week when you consider how shockingly poor the Spurs defense has been.
Danny Welbeck (Brighton, £6.3m)
Danny Welbeck was surprisingly rested by the Brighton manager for their huge Premier League clash against Chelsea, and even then he ended up scoring in the game. All he needed was a 9-minute cameo from the bench to score from the bench. That was also his 13 EPL goal this season at age 35. Brighton face a shockingly poor Newcastle next, which is an excellent FPL fixture for Welbeck.
Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth, £4.6m)
There is no other forward in Fantasy Premier League right now who stands out as much as Eli Junior Kroupi in regards to being the best cheap budget striker you can pick in the game for this week. Kroupi Junior has been sensational this season, and the fact he's still just 19 is truly unbelievable. He's even scored in 3 of his last 4 games for Bournemouth. An absolute bargain at the moment.
To wrap things up, choosing the right striker can make all the difference to your Fantasy Premier League returns in Gameweek 35. With several forwards in strong form and facing favourable fixtures, the names highlighted above offer excellent potential for points through goals, assists, and bonus returns.
That said, it’s crucial to consider your squad structure, budget, and upcoming fixtures before confirming any transfers. A well-balanced mix of premium firepower and value picks can often provide the edge needed to stay competitive this week.
Ultimately, targeting a forward with solid underlying stats and a kind fixture could be the move that lifts your team up the rankings. Choose wisely, and Gameweek 35 could deliver big rewards.
